This little humdinger has a back end written with
python/django, I’m
also using geopy to assist in calculating
distances for the map. The front end uses Google Maps
APIv3 HTML5 and
CSS3. Django’s built-in admin back end made data-entry a breeze, although I
wish it had built-in table alteration, changing your models is a pain in the
butt, I didn’t want to figure out South with
very little data to migrate.

This was my first time running an nginx server, it’s a
big difference from apache. The configs are a lot cleaner, definitely more
like python than markup. The uwsgi was used
to run python and since it’s packaged with nginx setup was a breeze. The
Database was in postgres, although I could’ve used
postGIS to do the distance calculations and
bypass geopy, I was already in too deep to change it. This is a pretty nice
stack.

I kept the design minimal and fluid to support the widest array of browsers.
Django’s templating is awesome, you can do a lot with it without getting in
the way of your html.
